Title:The Regge-plus-resonance model for kaon production on the proton and the neutron

Abstract: The Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) framework for kaon photoproduction on the
proton and the neutron is an economical single-channel model with very few
parameters. Not only does the RPR model allow one to extract resonance
information from the data, it has predictive power. As an example we show that
the RPR model makes fair predictions for the $p(e,e'K^{+})\Lambda$ and the
$n(\gamma,K^{+})\Sigma ^{-}$ observables starting from amplitudes optimized for
the reaction $p(\gamma, K ^{+})\Lambda$ and $p(\gamma,K^{+})\Sigma ^{0}$
respectively.
